Cases
|
|
MCLJ Publications
These currently contain all Current Law Journal and Supplement
decisions reported in MCLJ printed publications from 1981 to present day. In
addition the Industrial Law Reports are included from 1980.
|
|
|
Members are able to print out judgments in pdf format in exactly the
layout in which they appear in the MCLJ publications. This facility allows
members to see and use page numbers and paragraph lettering just as if they
had a printed copy of the judgment. This feature alone is worth over
RM10,000 of hard copy journals.
|
|
LN Series (LNS)
This series is cases that have not been published by MCLJ.
Significant and selected cases from 1894 to present day are
available to members. These cases are generally not head-noted though some
have catchwords. We are constantly adding cases to this database. We have
the largest database of Malaysian cases, including previously unpublished
cases. New cases are added to the LNS on a regular basis. If the case is
sent in digital format by the court (i.e. on disk or by
email) C LJ Law will always publish it and usually within 24 hours of receipt.
CLJ Law actively encourages all courts to send judgments in digital
format.

MYClj

up to 100 cases found when searching may be stored for future reference.

Case Citator
This feature is unique to CLJ Law. Quickly find all cases
that subsequently refer to a particular case simply by clicking on the link
"CASE CITATOR" on the case. This will save you time getting the latest
information on a particular case. The cases found are all those cases
that are linked to the original case. You can find more cases this way than
currently available in any hard copy reference. Of course the citator
is updated every time a new case is added to the database - you can be sure
of finding the latest information.

new enactments are put on-line as soon as we have them in electronic form.
All legislation is consolidated - i.e amendments are incorporated into the
Acts soon after they are in force. Changes are noted on the Principals
Acts. In 2002 we are working on versioning several of these acts so that
members can see the act as it was at a specified date.
